This book sounded really intriguing and I had pretty high hopes for it. I loved Claire as a character, it couldn’t care about Léo. He was just annoying;, but I also get that it fits the vibe of the setting, yet still .... Also, I found myself very underwhelmed by the actual plot. I was like: Is this it? At the end of the book I was still confused about many things. It had so much potential, also with the concept of the grand jeu, which I really liked, but this book just fell short.
Graphic: Misogyny, Sexism, and Religious bigotry
Moderate: Suicide
Minor: Police brutality
